In episode fifteen of TNIT, I am joined by astrologer, writer, and teacher Britten LaRue. We all have those teachers who give us hard lessons; in my yogic path, we called them Saturnian teachers, and Britten was one of mine. Britten helped me learn one of the hardest lessons in my life, although it didn’t happen in the way one might expect. My time in her transformation container was very activating and, at times, frustrating. Still, her trust in me to figure it out made all the difference in how I emerged on the other side, and I can say it was 100% worth it. In this episode, we talk about it.

Britten also shares what it is like to experience pride as someone with Saturn in Leo and how that is different from success. We also discuss the connection between shame and boundaries and what it is like to live beyond shame. Britten shares her experience of midlife transits, a mystical experience from her youth, and one of her most helpful self-regulating practices.

Welcome, Britten!
